Mario & Walt - Europe October 2005

Instructions & Disclaimer
Just follow our story, read the text, look at the pictures, click on a picture if would like to see a larger version, and enjoy. I also coded this all by hand, so if there are mistakes, sorry, likewise excuse my suckass spelling and grammer.

You may notice a few blurry pictures, this was an artistic expression of usually how intoxicated Walt and I were during the taking of the picture, not a failure on my part to hold the camera steady. To add to it, the camera is relatively new so not all the pics are that great... I'm still learning.

Traveling to Munich - Sept. 30^th to Oct. 1^st
Imgaine our excitement as we take off of Europe. We left Tucson at 10am and arrived in Munich at 3pm, the next day...

Us in Tucson loading up for the trip to Phoenix Over Arizona

Look at that leg room On the ground in Munich and at the train station Our sweet ass hotel

This shoe cleaner was pretty sweet Very nice room also, better be for $150 a night An Audi A8L right outside our hotel, yes!

Oktberfest! - Oct. 1^st
Oh my God did we leave that place crippled. A word to the wise, get reservations for a tent early, cause its damn hard to get in. The only reason we got in is beacause a fight broke out and security had to go deal with that. However, through and through, best party evar. We had met some crazy Germans on subway over, so just hung at their table for the night, seeing as they were friendly folk.

Brost! Walt destroying his very tasty chicken I'm pretty sure I was standing on the table when I took this

A few liters of beer later and still kicking...

Soooo much booze... dare I say too much? Uhhh, where is our hotel?

Walking around Munich - Oct. 2^nd
I tried draggin what was left of Walt out of his bed at 9am so we could get reservations for another tent that day, but that wasn't happening by a long shot. So around 4pm or so we hit the subways and wandered around Munich a bit. We spent for forever trying to find this stupid giant park, which we never did. However, we found a small bar and hung out there's a bit.

Gotta love Germany, all the down towns have large pedestrian only zones with lots of neat shops Big ol church, I believe one of the very few to survive WWII

Visiting my great uncle in Aadorf, Switzerland - Oct 3^rd to Oct. 4^th
I have to say my uncle hands down is one of the most interesting people I have ever met. The man can talk forever, even if I could only understand half of his Swiss German, and was so full of energy and excitement. He also happens to be the self proclaimed only music drawer in the world. He actually draws music, all very abstract but interesting none the less. My immediate family also happened to be visiting at the same time.

Yes! My first R32 spotting as leaving Munich (4 doors, uh-lala) The quality of the German/Swiss trains is yet to be matched anywhere

Everytime I ever take a picture on a train, another train just happens to pass at that exact moment, odds of 1 in a 1,000,000 Some Ralleye style Audi in front of my great uncle's crib

Me and the man The father figure Walt's beard sure is surly

Have you seen this camera case? Last spotted in the swiss alps, still missing. Ownered would like to have returned since he wasted like $25 on it A little Aadorf through the curtains photos. That church bell tower chimed for almost half an hour at 6am = teh suck Walt's red badge of courage from Munich. We paid the doctor a visit and it was *only* a ruptured blood vessel, which I guess was harmless. Less than $15 for the visit, and that was without health insurance, the Swiss rule.

Had to teach my brother how to pose in front of a fine German automobile proper I guess this guy was a bit hungry

Moo-cows! On our way out... Hehe. Not sure why this sign said Schwäbisch "Fat maker"?

Traveling to Interlaken - Oct. 4^th
Switzerland is gorgeous, I couldn't put my camera down... I eventually figured out I can just sit back and take in the views. This is on the way to Interlaken, extreme sports capital of backpacking. Paragliding, skydiving, bungie jumping, white water rafting, you name it, the got it.

I want one of those in my back yard

There are farms all over the place, kind of interesting that they manage to survive still without be incorporated... I guess there is something to be said for economy You can see one of the lakes that Interlaken is between.

I want to climb an Alp

Alpine hiking outside Interlaken - Oct. 5^th
I think the pictures speak for themselves. We just started walking using our handy tourist map, and this is where we ended up.

The view from our hostel room Hostel courtyard

These falls just came out of nowhere from the top of the cliff, awesome

I can't even begin to imagine how many green thumbs these people have

Those Alps are just a little bit big

Riding up an elevator (if you want to call it that) to halfway up these crazy falls created by the run off from the mountains

All this was carved by water, I think it'd take me a couple million years too.

I should look way happier in this picture...

In the gondola house, waiting before we get a free ride up. I have this thing for pictures of windows apparently.

Up up up we go...

Read the menu closely. I guess it was some sort of desert...

A trip to the glacier - Oct. 6^th
Definately one of the highlights of the trip... From the vast array of Xtreme adventures available in Interlaken, we decided to do the least Arizona of them all, which happened to be glacier trekking and ice climbing. Unfortunately my camera battery died that day, so I could only photo document part of the day. And to top it off, we even got to see (thankfully not first hand experience) some avalanches first hand.

We're gonna climb that, good thing the weather is clearing up Walt brandishing the ice climbing axes of destruction Those supplied clothes are better than be cold, barely... You can see the parking lot next to the lake... kinda a long walk straight up

Our guide setting up the climbs as enjoy lunch Our climbing mates, it was nice being in a small group

Walt getting all strapped in Down he goes... And right back up

Check out how hard my boots rule

Our guide was definately a badass My camera case is somewhere down there... And let the climbing begin...

Some me in action shots Its amazing how little ice will support a person's weight

Right about here my calves decided they didn't like me standing on my toes, too bad mister ice cliff wouldn't have it any other way

It gets really hard right about here. Another of Walt's 7 climbs, I only did like 4

Good bye battery...

Visiting Walt's Family in Florence, Italy - Oct. 7^th to Oct. 10^th
As we rode the train into Italy, it began to rain and that stayed for quite a while. Finally we had a clear day and played in the park with Walt's cousins. We also somehow managed to make our own tortillas... they ended up having the correct texture, but just not quite the right taste...

Welcome to Italy... right after we crossed the border Crazy Walter zany head! In stores this holiday season!

Christopher likes taking pictures He also likes using my camera

Scooters pwn the streets Some train station action in Florence, we were trying to get a couchette train for our trip to Germany, so we went to get reservations early, apparently not early enough.

We walked by this. Since Walt and I have both already spent significant time in Florence we choose to hang out with his family most the time, instead of visiting sites. Walt's uncle, Scott's apartment is in this piazza (not pizza) Walt, Eduardo and the new cousin Thomas

Walt remarking on how much he wants one of those, or not

A cute lil Lupo, had to get a pic of at least 1 "Mario please give me your new camera and let me take lots of pictures of the ground" You spin me right round... All sorts of laid back

You can guess who got swing pushing duties That's awfully high if you can imagine my arms all the way up in the air

They're not so light... Coming to a world cup near you

Walt and Edo battle out their soccer feud from the last visit We hang out and watch

The game was quite intense Christopher got tired of just watching

Tired much? Walt barely managed to squeeze off a victory 15-13 if I remeber correctly A better view of the park This thing again...

Walt also needed me to push him in the swing Thats homemade tira misou, quite possibly the most tasty thing on the face of the planet

The old factory that Scott's apartment building helps enclose. Back in the day, people used to work there and live in the surronding apartments. A fine Mexican meal, Italian stylz Our tortilla making factory, I rolled all of those out by hand

Venice! - Oct. 10^th
What's a trip to Italy without visiting oh so pretty Venice. We managed to cover most of the city on foot that day. We also picked up some oil paintings, and Walt vowed that we would master the art of painting on our return.

"I'm gonna take a picture of one of these cool winefields... oops missed" "Oops, missed it" "Bingo" The main canal in Venice

My first gondola pic, not to be the last... We had lunch in this neat little park Some people were making out to the right of us here, hard.

So many of the alleys are tiny

My first scenic down a canal pic There's no ship fiercer on the canals of Venice than the SS Mario. There was an SS Mario II right down the way also, but it just was hauling trash, how un-befitting of such a fine named vessel.

Venice is real pretty.

A giant decapitated head, me and some jerk walking in my picture

Piegeons are like rats with wings...

And here people are letting them climb all over them, GROSS! These are battle gondolas, equipped with giant blades on the front to hunt down any unsuspecting tourist

Across the way, another island, manmade IIRC Probably the most scenic view on our entire trip, even if the picture doesnt reflect it completely

Another of the same

Whos's this guy? Self-portrait

This statue is nursing away... somebody just had this over their doorway Why am I taking pictures of people's laundry?! GRRRRR

Fruit 4 Sale

Nigth time in Venice... Walt and I stop for some wine and decide a second dinner is in order This powedered pepporncini(right) is what we got when we asked from some peppers for the blandish pizza... though it wasn't quite as far off as the olive oil with peppers in that they brought out the first time we asked (left)

I'm sad this didnt come out better... awesome night time gondola

Walt doing some writing to friends back home A train station where the second crappiest train ride in my life began. The first was also in Italy, coincidence? I think not...

Visting my family in Bayreuth - Oct. 11^th to Oct. 13^th
We also had to do a little visiting of my family in Bayreuth. We pretty much slept the first whole day because of our crappy train ride the night before and then went had some very awesome German cuisine. The next day we did some relax'n, visited some more extended family at their farm, and then took a walk around Weidenberg.

The house of the greater part of my early youth S4 Avant in front of the restaurant Followed by a Porsche Carrera The madness of the feast ensues...

The next day visiting the family's dairy farm

This cow looked very frightened

A nostalgic poster for the Deutsche Mark, I like the beetle in it. How is that I always manage to find cows wherever I go?

Another fine Porsche I found on the trip See... I swear it is A nice Passat wagon found wandering the streets And a beat Corrado to with it

A pretty nice Polo along the way... The view from the backyard of my house And the actual backyard The dudes hang'n out

Lets cruise Bayreuth at night looking for a payphone Walt finds true love I thought Woolworth's was an East coast thing...

R32 at the car rental place, unfortunately not our car I just ended taking pics of anything with a VW badge, this golf was alright Oma n'me before Walt and I take off... she's the best

Coburg Castle/Weimar - Oct. 13^th to Oct. 14^th
When in Germany, its mandatory to rent a car and cruise the Autobahn. Now when you rent an Audi A3 online, you except a pretty decide car... we ended up with a Seat Toledo. Crap. We still made the best of our trip and that poor little car, and made a trip to Weimar to visit Tom and Ulli. Along the way we made a detour at Coburg castle for some medevil action.

Horsie-dos I used to live in Bamberg for a few years, we drove right by on the way to Coburg Walt schooling the Toledo in the ways of the autobahn (in kilometers)

I felt I need a picture of a new Golf, nothing special... except how close we had to get to actually take the pic. And we at Veste Coburg we arrive... this also involved a very complicated drive through Coburg... luckily the signs were very accurate.

Somebody felt it neccessary to bolt a gun on the end of their spear

I think this guy had a few too many cheetos A very pretty glass chandlier

I found some of the stained glass particularly impressive Yes, I've been a bad boy Ummm, being tortured musta really sucked.

Walt is such a dirty hippie. The predecessor to the potato gun...

A pair of rotating barrel hand guns... those most've been fun to lug around And the ultimate display of wealth, hand guns fashioned from ivory Ummm yeah. BFG. More BFG

A real early model Volkswagen

This guy came with under carriage neon

And back to the Autobahn with us...

I think its absolutely impossible for this car to go any faster... A picture of tree, not sure why I took it, but a nice tree, don't you think? The most giant IKEA ever. Passat V^ TDI 4motion... enough badges on the car, perhaps?

Another Passat with some big ol wheels OMG, a Golf country... rare birds indeed Some downtown Weimar... this is the castle (small) tower The market place

A side street leading back to the parked car.

Heidelberg and back to Tucson - Oct. 14^th to Oct. 15^th
Heidelberg was the final leg of the journey. I did a few hours of driving on the way there also, but Walt was lucky enough to finish the drive. There we met with Walt's friend Jan. Lukas and Delphine who came from Kaiserslautern to visit Walt. We walked around downtown Heidelberg for a while, had some superb dinner, and went to a few bars to celebrate before heading home. We we went to sleep around 3am and left for the airport the next day at 6am. Ouch. Walt decided to earn a 550 Euro voucher by giving up his seat on the plane, so he came back the next day, with my luggage also since they took both our bags off the plane. Well, that made customs easier for me.

An Audi and nuclear power plant Myself driving very close and rather quick towards oncoming traffic. Seemed like there wasn't that much construction considering the phenomenal condition the roads were in.

An A8 at the rest stop... these damn things are everywhere. Holy Toledo! Our poor little rental car We didn't eat at the Dong Dong, but I thought it worthy of a photo none the less.

Here we are enjoying some drinks at a small bar/cafe Bitburger beer, it was actually pretty good considering that all the advertising we saw for it.

Its gettin a bit late Morning already... I just wanted to sleep so bad... Greenland rules!!

What better to come home to than an awesome Arizona sunset? Well a carne asada burrito, but I had one of those the next night when I picked Walt up.
